UNRWA funds enough till end of September — official

Beirut, Director of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Lebanon, Claudio Cordone, Monday said that the agency’s funds will be enough until the end of the month of September.

The American administration’s decision to stop funding UNRWA was met with a response from many countries that announced new donations or ideas about funding the agency, Cordone said in a statement.

All UNRWA schools are open and had begun the new academic year on time, Cordone said, stressing that the agency is committed to fully continuing its education programs trouble-free.
